The internet was not pleased with Donald Trump's 'bad hombres' comment
The internet did not take kindly to a quip Donald Trump made about undocumented immigrants during Wednesday night's presidential debate.
Said Trump of his plan to remove undocumented immigrants from the United States: "We have some bad hombres here, and we're going to get them out."
The internet's reaction was brutal and immediate, with some people cracking jokes, some mocking Trump's poor Spanish pronunciation and some decrying the remark as a racist, trivializing attack on Mexican-Americans.

But just so we're clear: "ombre" refers to colors that fade into one another. It is not "hombre," which is the Spanish word for "man."
wait is #BadHombres a #joanne deluxe album track??
